RE: Dave Patrick super cub

Has anyone out there jumped off the deep end and used a, (dare I say it), Zenoah G-26 on their DP Super Cub?
Yes, I know, they're heavy, they're lower powered, they're heavy, the cylinder will...

RE: Dave Patrick super cub

Someone wanted to see and hear the OS 160 on the DP Super Cub. I uploaded them to "PutFile" and here are the 3 links:

RE: Dave Patrick super cub

To Cap'n Jim:

Be aware that 4-40 pushrod wire is a whole lot softer than a bolt shank. Over time it may wear or break.

Great idea, and it saves you a little time, but normal bolts may...

RE: Dave Patrick super cub

The top cover is clear. I think a smoke tinted cover would look better though.

Holes "wear out" ? They only hold the piece of plastic in place. Did you harden the wood threads with thin CA?

It isn't mentioned in the manual but it's a squarish clear plastic sheet with 4 holes in the corners.

And those holes actually match up to the holes in the top of the fuselage!

RE: Dave Patrick super cub

On the OS 160 twin, the carb level is beneath the cylinders.

The tank centerline is just above the spray bar in the carb.

Good old suction pulls fuel into the carb.

RE: Dave Patrick super cub

To John Redsox:

The 160 doesn't need mufflers or muffler pressure. It's really quiet on straight pipes.

The carb on the OS 160 is quite low and the tank has to be mounted lower than the...

RE: Dave Patrick super cub

I set the engine square with the firewall. There may be some right or down or both built in.

Dave Patrick knows what he's doing. I never second-guess a good designer.

On both the flaps and ailerons, push the hinges in the movable surfaces far enough that the pivot point is close to the edge of the surface.

Then push the hinge onto the TE of the wing until...

The ElectroDynamics glow lighter has an option to use a pair of 1500 maH nicads in series when used on a twin cylinder engine.
